Earlier Sean Williams made 142 runs from Zimbabwe and due to his innings, they scored 332 runs. He was also given the match of the match in this important win.

I wonder what will happen to Zimbabwe once all of their senior players retire. Sean Williams, Craig Ervine and Sikandar Raza are all in 36-37 age group. They are going to retire in around 1-2 years from now and after that there will be a huge vacuum in the batting lineup for Zimbabwe. Their bowling is OK, with younger players like Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava managing to fill the gap left by the retirement of the senior players. But in batting department, they are still overdependent on a few players and the younger players are yet to perform at the highest level.

Zimbabwe was a very good team around 2005/2006. But after the retirement of the experienced players of the team, their performance declined badly. We have not seen any news about Zimbabwe for a long time. But this year Zimbabwe is performing quite well. But once again Zimbabwe will face big problems if players like Sean Williams and Sikandar Raja retire. Because their squad lacks young talent. And so Zimbabwe will try their best to do well in this World Cup.

Zimbabwe seems to be making a remarkable comeback, just like glorious days in the 90s. At the moment they sit comfortably at the top of the Super Six standings and almost confirming their spot in the World Cup. In Zimbabwe's success Sean Williams played a crucial role with the bat, while the all-round performance from Sikandar Raja give a big boost to Zimbabwean cricket so far. As we continue to witness this team's journey, it will be interesting to see Zimbabwe keep maintain their impressive performance. I am optimistic about their prospects in this World Cup.

ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier

Today there are two matches. One is Super Six match between Srilanka vs Netherlands . In these teams Srilanka is looking more strong. But in my view Netherlands will give tough time to Srilanka.
And Second is 7th Place Play-Off Semi Final. Which is between Ireland vs USA. So here I am looking Ireland as a strong team as compare to USA. The performance will show everything so let see.

But once again Zimbabwe will face big problems if players like Sean Williams and Sikandar Raja retire. Because their squad lacks young talent. And so Zimbabwe will try their best to do well in this World Cup.

And this is despite receiving $12 million per year in funds from the ICC. Most of the other associate teams receive less than $1 million per year. Despite this massive fund influx, Zimbabwe has so far failed to develop a good player pool. The first-class structure lacks quality, and they are still overdependent on players like Ervine and Williams, who are based outside the country. The only positive side to this is that there seems to be a growing community of cricket fans within Zimbabwe, who are very supportive of the national team.

Sri Lanka Vs Netherlands
Super Sixes 2nd Match of World Cup Qualifiers Sri Lanka Vs Netherlands. From the start of the World Cup Qualifiers, Sri Lanka team has played amazingly and won all four matches by playing four matches. On the other hand, Netherlands played 4 matches and won 3 matches. Netherlands had a remarkable win against West Indies in the last match. In today's match Sri Lanka bowling line batting line is better than Netherlands. I think Sri Lanka have more chances to win today's match. If Sri Lanka wins today's match, they will be number 1 in the Super Six points table.

Sri Lanka has started poorly against Netherlands and they are at 34/4 after 7.0 overs. But one advantage for Sri Lanka is that their opponents have burned through their reviews. Logan van Beek is on fire and he has taken 3 wickets so far. Ryan Klein from the other end has also bowled quite decently and took the wicket of Kusal Mendis. Sri Lanka may still win this match, as they have depth down the order. But they need to be extra-cautious here. A couple of quick wickets would mean the end of hopes for Sri Lanka. A win today is not very crucial for Sri Lanka, but a loss would put them under pressure for the next match.

I was very surprised to see the Sri Lankan scoreboard. Today's match is very important for Sri Lanka. But Sri Lankan batsmen are playing very badly in such an important match. Sri Lanka lost all 5 top-order batsmen. They collected only 96 runs in 25 overs. If Dhananjaya de Silva and Dasun Shanaka cannot build a big partnership then the team will not be able to collect even 200 runs. Netherlands batsmen are in very good form. A low target won't win against the Netherlands. Sri Lanka's defeat seems more likely to me.

Srilanka is strong on paper but not on the field today. They have scored 96 runs with 5 wickets down at the halfway mark of their innings. This is one of the poor performances by them against the team like the Netherlands. Srilanka lost wickets on regular intervals and there has been no sign of a partnership between batsmen.

Dhananjaya de Silva is playing not out at 39 runs and he is the last and only hope for Srilanka and they would want him to take Srilanka above 150 runs at least.

Sri Lanka's performance in this game is very poor today. Because all the players who have scored centuries in past matches and scored good runs in almost every match are out in the power play today. Today's field is a bowling pitch due to which the Sri Lankan batsmen could not stay on the field. In this way, if runs are collected and wickets continue to go, it will never be possible for Sri Lanka to collect more than 200 runs. Sri Lanka lost 6 wickets for 98 runs in 25 overs. Netherlands have a chance to win today as Sri Lanka have performed poorly and if Netherlands can keep their wickets and stay in the field then there is definitely a chance to win.

Dhananjaya de Silva is the only Sri Lankan batsmen fighting after Dimuth Karunaratne got out, Dhananjaya is not out on 45 runs rest of the batting was picked up cheaply by Netherlands bowling. Could this be another upset of the tournament? No one was expecting such performance from Zimbabwe and Netherlands. This is also good for World Cup that even the teams that are qualifing via CWC will be in good form and can beat any top team in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Netherlands should focus on wicket of Dhananjaya de Silva and should get him out asap. Netherlands have good opportunity to win this match if they can restrict Sri Lanka to 200.

In this Sri Lanka vs Netherlands match, Netherlands decided to bowl after receiving the opening batting. At the moment, Sri Lanka are batting and their pace of play today looks like they won't be able to score too many runs. They have already lost six wickets which has reduced their run rate. Sri Lanka would have been in good form if they could have scored 300 runs in today's match but it is not possible to score that many runs as their wickets are very short. However, Netherlands have shown a good bowling performance today due to which they have managed to take six wickets so far. At the moment, Sri Lanka has collected 114 runs and lost 6 wickets in 30 overs, Sri Lanka is under a lot of pressure.

Netherlands vs Sri Lanka today's ODI match has started. Sri Lanka won the toss and came to bat. Sri Lanka is a much stronger team than Netherlands. If Netherlands can play well today, there will be a chance to win. I think Netherlands will perform well in this match today.  Can do. Sri Lanka put the batsmen of the team under a lot of pressure. Sri Lanka scored 150 runs in 38 overs. Sri Lanka is under a lot of pressure now with the loss of 7 wickets. But Netherlands is doing a great performance in bowling.

Due to Dhananjaya de Silva's responsible batting, Sri Lanka was saved from a bad batting disaster. Sri Lanka is now 177 for 7, and de Silva remains unbeaten on 77 off 100 balls. If Sri Lanka can give a target like 220 then they have a chance to win. However, in the last match against the West Indies, the batsmen of the Netherlands were able to play well. But the Sri Lankan bowlers are quite experienced. A target of more than 220 will give Sri Lanka more chances to win. And if the target is under 200, the Netherlands will win today's match.

Sri Lanka scored 150 runs in 38 overs. Sri Lanka is under a lot of pressure now with the loss of 7 wickets. But Netherlands is doing a great performance in bowling.

It is Dhananjaya de Silva (78*) who is carrying the entire responsibility, if his score hasn't come Sri Lanka could've ended the innings within 150 runs. Even in today's match Logan van Beek have his contribution taking important wickets of Nissanka, Samarawickrama and Asalanka and the runrate is less than 3rpo. Possibly the team will set target between 230 and 240 runs. Netherlands need to start good only then it can chase the target.

In this match of Ireland vs USA, the bowling performance of Ireland players was excellent. USA did not bat very well in the match due to which they lost all their wickets and scored very few runs. With 196 runs, USA lost their entire wicket and in return for this small run, they may not win the match today. Ireland is a very strong team compared to USA so if Ireland perform well today they will definitely win the match. It looks like USA will not be able to put up a very good bowling performance in this condition. And if USA can put up a good bowling performance then surely it will be difficult for Ireland to win the match. But I think Ireland can win today's match without pressure because USA didn't score much. These few runs should not be too much trouble for Ireland, they will definitely win the match very quickly if they bat well.

A good innings by Dhananjaya de Silva managed to bring the total score of the whole match to a good level. Even though 213 is not a reliable score. But Sri Lanka being an experienced team their low score may be enough to beat Ireland. In this match along with Dhananjaya de Silva, Karunaratne has contributed quite a bit. Meanwhile, the Ireland team has lost one of its wickets. With just 1 over to play Ireland lost their first wicket by 9 runs. Due to the low score, there will be a lot of excitement between the two teams.

In today Super Sixes match between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands play is still going on and things appear to be going in favour of the Netherlands. Although having a solid start to the World Cup Qualifiers Sri Lanka performance in this particular match has not been up to par. They might not have set a hard aim, as their entire team was out after 213 runs. However the Netherlands batting team is still in the match and has already amassed 88 runs in just 14.2 overs while only losing 3 wickets. The big target and the momentum of the Netherlands innings make it appear as though the Netherlands will win this match without a doubt. The final result of the match will be exciting to see as it develops.

Super Sixes match 2 Sri Lanka vs Netherlands.
In today's match, the Sri Lankan cricket team batted in the first innings and set a target of 214 runs to the Netherlands after losing all wickets in 47.4 overs. The Sri Lankan cricket team of today's match could not bring much success in batting. Only Dhananjaya de Silva scored 93 runs off 111 balls in this match. If he could have scored 7 more runs, Dhananjaya de silva would have scored a century. On the other hand, the opposing team Netherlands came to bat in the second innings and collected 143 runs by losing 7 wickets after playing 26.4 overs.  Netherlands still have enough overs but face a wicket crisis. Now it is very important for Netherlands to hold the remaining wickets to win the match against Sri Lanka.

We were all saying that Srilanka has a bad start to this match but they recovered and recovered well to score 213 runs. Dhananjaya de Silva played a responsible inning of 93 runs and therefore Srilanka ended up on a reasonable target.

The game is still in progress and any team can win this match. The Netherlands needs only 40 runs from 17 overs but the problem is that they only have 2 wickets in hand. Netherlands had the worst possible start where they lost 2 wickets for only 11 runs. Their only hope is now Scott Edwards who is playing at 59 and only he can take Netherlands home.
